Serious, yes. Unusual, no. Unlikely, maybe not. If the directory in which a new directory is to be created is not writeable by the user running the script, mkdir -p will fail with an EPERM error. If a non-directory (or symbolic link pointing to a non-directory) file exists with the name of a directory to be created, mkdir -p will fail with an EEXIST error. And, of course, EACCES, ELOOP, EMLINK, ENAMETOOLONG, ENOSPC, ENOTDIR, and EROFS errors are also possible.

OPTIONS

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the  mhpath command to display the full pathname of the specified folder. If you do not specify a folder, mhpath displays the pathname

       If you specify a message with its message number, mhpath displays the pathname of the specified message. You can also specify a	number	of
       messages,  or a range of messages. If the top of the range that you specify is greater than the last message in the folder, mhpath displays
       as much of the specified range as possible.

       Additionally mhpath can take a keyword or a sequence name. The following keywords are acceptable: The first message  in	the  folder.   The
       last  message in the folder.  The message after the last message in the folder. You cannot use new as part of a message range.  The current
       message in the folder.  The message before the current message.	The message after the current message.	All of the messages in the folder.

PROFILE COMPONENTS
